Childhood Obesity Climbing With Media Use, European Doctors Warn 

Children’s waistlines have been expanding in lock step with the amount of time they spend with televisions, computers, smartphones and tablets, European doctors say.In the past 25 years, obesity rates have climbed rapidly among European children and teens, according to a consensus statement from the European Academy of Pediatrics and the European Childhood Obesity Group published online November 22 in Acta Paediatrica.

Roughly one in five kids and teens in Europe are overweight or obese, according to a 2017 World Health Organization study, the authors note.Mass media has been shown to have a broad effect on children’s health and can affect them physiologically and have an impact on their socio-cultural functioning and psychological wellbeing.--------------

--- Even as children’s screen time rises, parents demonstrate little awareness about what their kids do online or how much time they spend with tablets, smartphones and computers.Food advertising is another problem, because it can convince kids to crave and demand more junk food and make them less likely to eat their fruits and veggies, the statement also notes. Kids also tend to consume a large portion of their daily calories while watching TV, when ads may influence their food choices.-----

-----Screen media before bedtime interfere with sleep quality and duration, and poor sleep contributes to obesity.Limit media time each day, no media in the bedroom and ensure the media children are exposed to is high quality,. ........

----Regarding social media, parents should have access to their children’s social media sites and monitor their children’s interaction with social media - that has benefits beyond promoting a healthy weight.”---

  Media should work for you & work within your family values & parenting style. When media is used thoughtfully & appropriately, media can enhance daily life. But when used inappropriately or without thought, media can displace many important activities such as face-to-face interaction, family-time, outdoor-play, exercise, unplugged downtime & sleep. 

Ο χρόνος που τα παιδιά ξοδεύουν παρακολουθώντας τηλεόραση ή άλλα μέσα  φαίνεται πως οδηγεί στην παχυσαρκία. Αυτό οφείλεται στην μειωμένη φυσική δραστηριότητα αλλά και στην αυξημένη κατανάλωση τροφών κατά την παρακολούθηση.Επίσης οι διαφημίσεις που αφορούν τα λεγόμενα ''junk foods'' ,  μπορέι να οδηγήσει σε αυξημένες απαιτήσεις των παιδιών για τέτοιυ είδους τροφές και επακόλουθα στην αυξημένη κατανάλωση τους μέ όλα τα κακά επακόλουθα.Προβλήματα Υπνου και συμπεριφοράς μπορουν επίσης να παρουσιαστούν . Οι γονείς πρέπει να ελέγχουν τον χρόνο παρακολούθησης αλλά και την ποιότητα των προγραμμάτων που τα παιδιά τους παρακολουθούν.

Μειώστε τις ωρες παρακολούθησης τηλεόρασης και ενασχόλησης με άλλα μέσα. Είναι πολύ σημαντικό για τα παιδιά μας ! ΝΚ
